Abstract: The principal resonance of a two-degree-of-freedom non-linear osci llator to
bounded noise excitations is investigated, the phenomenon of random saturation is found.
The method of multiple scales is used to separate the rapidly varying items in the
modulation equations, and the linearization process is car ried out to determine the
steady state moments of the amplitude of the system response. Some suggestions for system
optimum design are proposed. The theoretical analyses are verified with numerical
simulation.
Keywords: two-degree-of-freedom non-linear system, principal resonance,
ra ndom saturation, multiple scale method.
